2023 Queen – Elle Garcia

Hi! My name is Elle Garcia and I am the 2024 Garfield County Fair and Rodeo Queen!!! I am extremely grateful and beyond excited to experience this opportunity. I have always dreamed of being the Queen, ever since I was little. It does not feel quite real yet but I am so excited to see what the year holds for our team and community.

 I am 16 years old and participate in basketball and softball at Rifle High School. The past 6 years I have participated in The Garfield County 4-H program, but this year I made a huge decision to just focus on my sports and Royalty. I enjoy being outside, hanging out with friends and family, riding my horse, and playing sports! I have been riding for over 12 years now and can’t wait to learn and grow each and every day! I love working with these girls and couldn’t hope for better humans to have by my side and to call my family. 

I can’t wait to build stronger, more amazing bonds and explore all that this opportunity has to offer. With our events coming up soon, I, Elle Garcia, the Queen; Bella Prough, Jr. Queen and Elizabeth Holmes, Princess, are all looking forward to representing our County and community!

2023 Jr. Queen – Isabella Prough

Hello! My name is Isabella Prough, I am this year’s Garfield County Fair and Rodeo Jr. Queen. It is my privilege to represent the western lifestyle and traditions of the cowboys and cowgirls who carry on the rodeo. I am 16 years old and I am a Sophomore. I participate in Colorado State High School Rodeo running barrels and poles. 

This is my fourth year showing Swine and Poultry at the County Fair. I have always seen the Garfield County Fair and Rodeo Royalty, and have always wanted to be a part of it and the great tradition it represents. This year, I look forward to being a role model, making new memories, meeting new people, and representing Garfield County as we travel across Colorado for this 2024 year!
